Man Utd must improve after Fulham win, says Amorim

LONDON, ENGLAND - JANUARY 26: Manchester United Manager Ruben Amorim during the Premier League match between Fulham FC and Manchester United FC at Craven Cottage on January 26, 2025 in London, England. Ruben Amorim welcomed a rare clean sheet in Manchester United's 1-0 win at Fulham on Sunday but did not gloss over his side's need to improve despite a vital three points. Lisandro Martinez's deflected winner offered some respite to Amorim, who has won just four of his 12 Premier League games in charge. United climb to 12th in the table, now a comfortable 13 points above the bottom three. But their performance was in keeping with many others under two different managers this season, against sides with a fraction of their budget. There was little to get United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe excited ...
